The Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU) at the University of Leeds is a leader in the field of clinical trials and was one of the first 26 clinical trials units across the UK to be awarded full registration status by the UK Clinical Research Collaboration. The Unit conducts national and international randomised clinical trials in a variety of clinical fields (cancer, cardiovascular disease and stroke, mental health, obesity, skin, oral health, musculoskeletal disease and care of the elderly). The CTRU has a strong methodological portfolio associated with clinical trial research. Our aim is to support the challenge of changing clinical practice for the better and our past results and current work has already helped to do this – http://ctru.leeds.ac.uk/
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the cancer division for talented and enthusiastic individuals, keen to join a vibrant, well-established group of statisticians supporting the Unit’s work on clinical trials across all phases, as well as an opportunity to focus specifically on phase I and II trials. Working in a multidisciplinary team including statisticians, programmers, clinicians, health economists, health service researchers and trial managers, you will be involved in a wide range of statistical activities, including preparing grant applications, design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials, general consulting to and training of health professionals. You will work on internationally renowned trials designed to answer questions of real importance to clinicians and patients, ultimately improving disease outcomes and patient care. We are keen to recruit statisticians with an interest in cancer, and in particular with experience of early phase trials.
If you want to make a difference and be part of a successful, highly talented, multi-disciplinary team, then we want you. All statistical roles offer excellent opportunities for career development within a well-established statistical team and a chance to further broaden your expertise through methodological research. Opportunities also exist for PhD registration.
With a postgraduate qualification with a major statistical component, you will have excellent interpersonal, communication and time management skills and be able to work well within a multidisciplinary team.
